Vehicles traveling on these networks may include automobiles, bicycles, buses, trains, trucks, people, helicopters, watercraft, spacecraft and aircraft. Operations deal with the way the vehicles are operated, and the procedures set for this purpose including financing, legalities and policies. In the transport industry, operations and ownership of infrastructure can be either public or private, depending on the country and mode.

Bureau of Transportation

The Bureau of Transportation of the United States Post Office Department was established in 1960. It was the successor to the Postal Transportation Service (PTS); the PTS had responsibility for mail transportation contracting as well as employees assigned to Mobile Unit and stationary PTS facilities such as Air Mail Facility, Terminal Railway Post Office, or Transfer Office operations. Only the contract issuance and administration responsibilities for mail routes were given to the Bureau of Transportation. Human Resources were transferred to postmasters in the cities where Mobile and Stationary Units were located. This division of activity continued to the end of the Post Office Department and after it became the U.S. Postal Service.

Bureau Veritas

Bureau Veritas S.A. is a global company in testing, inspection and certification services. Bureau Veritas offer services and solutions to ensure that their clients' assets, products, infrastructure and processes meet standards and regulations in terms of quality, health and safety, environmental protection and social responsibility.

Originally formed in Antwerp in 1828 as Bureau de Renseignements pour les Assurances Maritimes (Information Office for Maritime Insurance), the Bureau Veritas name was adopted in 1829.

History

Formed in June 1828 in Antwerp by underwriters Alexandre Delehaye and Louis van den Broek, and insurance broker, Auguste Morel. The Bureau Veritas name was adopted in 1829. This included the adoption of the figure of truth logo designed by Achille Deveria. The company was founded for the initial purpose of collecting, verifying and providing maritime insurance companies with precise and up-to-date information about the condition of ships and their equipment around the world. At the beginning of the 20th century, Bureau Veritas became involved in new activities: inspection of metallic parts and equipment for the rail industry and then for the whole industrial sector as well as construction. At the end of the 20th century, Bureau Veritas extended its scope to set up a merchandise inspection system for imported/exported goods before these are shipped and to set up certification of quality management. At the beginning of the 21st century, Bureau Veritas added 2 new business to its activity: consumer products testings and commodities testings.

There is a lot of different things that obviously are subject to further investigation. This is not a simple matter, as you can possibly appreciate. There is a large amount of information that needs to be gathered before any conclusions can be drawn in respect to the failure."

STORYLINE:
The focus of an investigation into what caused a hole in the side of a Qantas jet as it was flying over the South China Sea last Friday, continues to narrow on a missing oxygen tank.
Neville Blyth, a senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau, told a news conference on Tuesday, that a missing oxygen tank appears to have burst while the plane was flying at 29,000 feet (8,800 metres), forcing it to make an emergency landing.
"The explanation regarding the loss of the cylinder is the most probable," Blyth said, adding that the 44-pound (20-kilogramme) green tank was stored adjacent to the car-sized hole in the plane's metal skin and close to where a valve was found in the passenger cabin, likely blown through a hole in the floor.
However, investigators won't be able to review the cockpit voice recording of a Qantas jet's mid-air crisis because it was overwritten as the crew made a harrowing emergency landing, Blyth said.
With air rushing out of the hole, the pilots made a rapid descent, then an emergency landing in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Flight QF 30, with 345 passengers and a crew of 19, had been en route from London to Melbourne and had just made a stopover in Hong Kong.
The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder arrived on Monday in Canberra, where officials discovered that the period when the crew was dealing with massive depressurisation had been recorded over, Blyth said.
The device operates on a two-hour loop.
The oldest recording on the cockpit voice recorder commenced after the descent and diversion to Manila, Blyth said, adding it was still valuable in assessing the crew's handling of the situation.

The Australian Transport Safety Bureau issues a new warning over the engines in Airbus A380 planes... saying a new defect has been discovered. A mid-flight engine failure on the A380 aircraft forced Qantas and other airlines to ground their fleets and inspect engines for safety.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau issued a report on Thursday identifying a potential manufacturing defect in the Airbus A380 aircraft.
The bureau's statement says there could be a defect with an oil tube connection to the high-pressure or intermediate-pressure bearing structure of the Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine installed in some A380 aircraft.
This could lead to oil leakage and engine failure from an oil fire.
In response to the recommendation, Rolls Royce, affected airlines and safety regulators say they're taking action to ensure the safe operation of A380 aircraft.
A mid-flight failure of a Rolls-Royce Trent 900 engine on a Qantas A380 aircraft on November 4th forced the airline to ground its fleet.
Qantas resumed flying its Airbus A380 super-jumbos on November 27.
The TransportSafetyBureau will hold a media briefing on Friday to present the known facts and findings gathered from the investigation.

9/11 - What Happened to the Passengers?

9/11 revisited - This video examines evidence of the impossibility of the airborne cell phone calls from the nine passengers that were indicated on the Caller-ID's of the recipients as recorded in FBI reports. The technology for such calls did not exist in 2001 (refer to video description). If the cell phone calls could not have been made from the planes in the air, where were they made from? If those cell phone calls were not made in the air, the "19-Hijacker Conspiracy Theory" is seriously damaged.
This video is a portion of the excellent 5-hour 9/11 investigative film "September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor" by Massimo Mazzucco. For the complete 5-hour film (separated into 3 parts) click the links at the bottom.
Prior to 2004 cell phone calls from fast high flying aircraft were impossible because of the technology then in use.
But in 2004 Qualcomm Incorporated announced in a July 15, 2004 press release:
"American Airlines and Qualcomm CompleteTestFlight to Evaluate In-Cabin Mobile Phone Use" [ https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2004/07/15/american-airlines-and-qualcomm-complete-test-flight-evaluate-cabin-mobile ]:
"Qualcomm Incorporated...and American Airlines today successfully demonstrated in-cabin voice communication using commercially available CDMA mobile phones on a commercial American Airlines aircraft...
The proof-of-concept demonstration flight originated out of the Dallas/Fort WorthInternational airport. During the approximate two-hour flight, passengers were able to place and receive phone calls and text messages on their mobile phones....'We are pleased to have worked so closely with American Airlines to complete this proof-of-concept demonstration for the in-flight use of 3G CDNA technology,' said Dr. Irwin Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm..."
On 9/11, people receiving cell calls allegedly from the hijacked aircraft reported the unusual clarity of the calls - as if they were calling from the next room. However, cell phone calls in the Qualcomm demonstration, "...was about the same as a regular cell call on the ground, other than the loud background noise on the MD-80 jet."
[ http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/wireless/2004-07-16-jet-phones_x.htm ]
This lack of background noise could make one wonder if those cell calls were really being placed from the inside of a hijacked jetliner in flight.
Remote controlled aircraft? - http://www.journalof911studies.com/volume/2008/AutopilotSystemsMonaghan.pdf
There is evidence that Flight 77 and Flight 11 were not even scheduled to fly on 9/11.....not that they were scheduled and subsequently canceled - but that a Flight 77 and a Flight 11 were never scheduled in the first place - passengers aren't booked on flights which do not exist.
Prior to sometime in 2004 the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) website for September 11, 2001 showed no record of a Flight 77 or a Flight 11[ Evidence that FlightsAA 11 and AA 77 Did Not Exist on September 11, 2001 - http://www.serendipity.li/wot/aa_flts/aa_flts.htm ]. Then, in 2004, Flight 11 and Flight 77 were "added" to the BTS data for 9/11/2001 but they show no departure time nor an aircraft tail number - this link includes a screen capture of the "new" Flight 11 data: http://letsrollforums.com//happened-passengers-4-flights-t20496.html?s=8086c7378cb4c997adf4957221feb738&
Back in 2003 when the evidence to invade Iraq was being pushed to get public support it seemed more than a bit shady so I began looking into questions then being aired about the 9/11 attacks - and this 9/11 flight scheduling anomaly came to light. When I went to the Bureau of Transportation website, I found the same information as shown in the links below:
Flight 93 - UA: Newark, NJ — NewarkInternational http://www.serendipity.li/wot/aa_flts/bts/ua93departure.htm

Then, in 2004, Flight 11 and Flight 77 were "added" to the BTS data for 9/11/2001 but they show no departure time nor an aircraft tail number - this link includes a screen capture of the "new" Flight 11 data: http://letsrollforums.com//happened-passengers-4-flights-t20496.html?s=8086c7378cb4c997adf4957221feb738&
Back in 2003 when the evidence to invade Iraq was being pushed to get public support it seemed more than a bit shady so I began looking into questions then being aired about the 9/11 attacks - and this 9/11 flight scheduling anomaly came to light. When I went to the Bureau of Transportation website, I found the same information as shown in the links below:

9/11 revisited - This video examines evidence of the impossibility of the airborne cell phone calls from the nine passengers that were indicated on the Caller-ID's of the recipients as recorded in FBI reports. The technology for such calls did not exist in 2001 (refer to video description). If the cell phone calls could not have been made from the planes in the air, where were they made from? If those cell phone calls were not made in the air, the "19-Hijacker Conspiracy Theory" is seriously damaged.
This video is a portion of the excellent 5-hour 9/11 investigative film "September 11 - The New Pearl Harbor" by Massimo Mazzucco. For the complete 5-hour film (separated into 3 parts) click the links at the bottom.
Prior to 2004 cell phone calls from fast high flying aircraft were impossible because of the technology then in use.
But in 2004 Qualcomm Incorporated announced in a July 15, 2004 press release:
"American Airlines and Qualcomm CompleteTestFlight to Evaluate In-Cabin Mobile Phone Use" [ https://www.qualcomm.com/news/releases/2004/07/15/american-airlines-and-qualcomm-complete-test-flight-evaluate-cabin-mobile ]:
"Qualcomm Incorporated...and American Airlines today successfully demonstrated in-cabin voice communication using commercially available CDMA mobile phones on a commercial American Airlines aircraft...
The proof-of-concept demonstration flight originated out of the Dallas/Fort WorthInternational airport. During the approximate two-hour flight, passengers were able to place and receive phone calls and text messages on their mobile phones....'We are pleased to have worked so closely with American Airlines to complete this proof-of-concept demonstration for the in-flight use of 3G CDNA technology,' said Dr. Irwin Jacobs, chairman and CEO of Qualcomm..."
On 9/11, people receiving cell calls allegedly from the hijacked aircraft reported the unusual clarity of the calls - as if they were calling from the next room. However, cell phone calls in the Qualcomm demonstration, "...was about the same as a regular cell call on the ground, other than the loud background noise on the MD-80 jet."
[ http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/tech/wireless/2004-07-16-jet-phones_x.htm ]
This lack of background noise could make one wonder if those cell calls were really being placed from the inside of a hijacked jetliner in flight.

Largest ever turboprop airplane in the world! After a break of eight years, the world has one Antonov An-22A Antei back in commercial service again - and Air-Clips was on board for you!
Out of our series of four cockpit flights, the two shown in this ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE represent the heart of the mission! See the Antei "eating" a huge piece of outsize cargo and flying it from Zurich via Tbilisi to Abu Dhabi in September 2016, marking her first commercial mission in her new life.
The Antonov An-22 "Antei" is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union.

The Story of Gasoline 1927 - Refinery and Transport of Fuel

OLD SCHOOL OIL HOAX! Crude oil is a load of nonexistent nonsense with lots of expensive PR. Our products and fuels come from plant sources but they don't want us to think this for obvious reasons. They want to pretend magic scarce subsea molten dinosaur is the source. Even before the age of motion picture sound and CGI there were "animated technical drawings" to get the crude oil story across. Notice they hadn't actually invented the fake offshore platforms (rigs) hoax by 1927.

Riding the Hong Kong Tramway - Location: https://goo.gl/maps/5RREJ - 16W ShipyardLaneWestboundStop to WMTWestern MarketTerminus (End of Line). Cost: $0.30USD.
Hong Kong Tramways (Chinese: 香港電車) is a tram system in Hong Kong, being one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis. Owned and operated by Veolia Transport, the tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Shau Kei Wan and Kennedy Town, with a branch circulating Happy Valley.
Trams in Hong Kong have not only been a form of commuter transport for over 100 years, but also a major tourist attraction and one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in Hong Kong.[2] It is the only tram system in the world operated exclusively with double-decker trams, and is one of only three non-heritage tram systems in the world that use double-deck cars.
Tram routes
The trams run on a double track tramline built parallel to the northern coastline of Hong Kong Island from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, with a single clockwise-running track of about 3 km (1.9 mi) around the Happy Valley Racecourse.
There are 7 tram termini located along the tram line, namely, from west to east, Kennedy Town, Shek Tong Tsui (a.k.a. Whitty Street), Sheung Wan (Western Market), Happy Valley, Causeway Bay, North Point and Shau Kei Wan; some intermediate stops such as Sai Ying Pun, Admiralty MTR Station, Wan Chai, and Victoria Park are also equipped with turnaround facilities so that they can be used as makeshift termini in emergency situations, such as en-route traffic accidents.
Public reception and cultural significance
The trams have not only been a form of transportation for over a century, but also a major tourist attraction. The well-preserved tram lines still serve as a crucial means of transport in Hong Kong. Travelling in the lower deck of the tram allows travellers to have a close up view of the local street life, while occupying the front seats of the upper deck gives good views of the town as the tram rattles by.
Hong Kong's tram system is an icon of the city, like other Asian trams in Kolkata, Dalian and Sapporo.
As they run through the urban area of Hong Kong Island, the tram tracks have become an important icon of urban Hong Kong. Since the tracks were originally built along the waterfront before further land reclamation pushed the coastline northwards, the tracks can be used to identify directions and locations throughout urban Hong Kong Island.
Red light meals
In the old days, the duration of meal breaks allocated to tram drivers were far from adequate. Most drivers would therefore take advantage of the time their trams are waiting at a red light to gulp down a portion of their meal before the signal turns to green, continuing this practice whenever the tram comes to a red light until the meal is finished. This kind of hurried, impromptu meal is commonly referred as "red light meals" (Chinese: 紅燈飯).
ProjectsModern Tramway at Kai Tak Development[edit]
Hong Kong Tramways Limited announced its interest in constructing a 12-km modern tramway system in the Kai Tak Development, built on the vacated site of the former Kai Tak Airport, in place of the "Environmentally Friendly Linkage System" (monorail system) proposed by the Hong Kong Government. Possible extensions to neighbouring places such as To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City and Kwun Tong were suggested. The company appointed a consultancy firm to investigate on the feasibility of building such a modern tram system in 2010, and submitted a proposal to the Development Bureau on April 29, 2013.[9]
The company pointed out that the cost of constructing the proposed tram system is HK$2.8 billion. which is comparatively low as compared to the cost of $12 billion needed for a monorail system. Bruno Charrade, Managing Director of HKT, said the design of tramcars can be in connection with their Hong Kong Island counterparts or in a totally new shape, depending on the Government's discretion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Arabian_Pipeline
The Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline), was an oil pipeline from Qaisumah in Saudi Arabia to Sidon in Lebanon. In its heyday, it was an important factor in the global trade of petroleum—helping with the economic development of Lebanon—as well as American and Middle Eastern political relations...History
Construction of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline began in 1947 and was mainly managed by the American company Bechtel. Originally the Tapline was intended to terminate in Haifa which was then in the British Mandate of Palestine, but due to the establishment of the state of Israel, an alternative route through Syria (Golan Heights) and Lebanon was selected with an export terminal in Sidon. The Syrian government initially opposed the plan, but ratified Tapline construction in 1949 following the U.S.-backed military coup overthrowing democratic rule there. Oil transport through the pipeline started in 1950.
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, the section of the pipeline which runs through the Golan Heights came under Israeli occupation, though the Israelis permitted the pipeline's operation to continue. After years of constant bickering between Saudi Arabia and Syria and Lebanon over transit fees, the emergence of oil supertankers, and pipeline breakdowns, the section of the line beyond Jordan ceased operation in 1976. The remainder of the line between Saudi Arabia and Jordan continued to transport modest amounts of petroleum until 1990 when the Saudis cut off the pipeline in response to Jordan's support of Iraq during the first Gulf War. Today, the entire line is unfit for oil transport...

http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/300/380/388/tapline/building-tapline/building-tapline.pdf
In 1950, the world's largest oil pipeline system was completed. Oil fields in Saudi Arabia were linked with the Mediterranean Sea at Sidon, Lebanon, over a thousand miles away. The pipeline greatly reduced the number of tankers required to transport oil around the Arabian Peninsula through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, a 20-day, 7,000 mile trip. The building of the great pipeline is a story of accomplishment by Americans and Middle Easterners working together towards a common goal. It took the courage, perseverence and skills of 16,000 men, most of them nationals of the lands through which the line was passing, to overcome the heat, desert, sand storms, loneliness and other obstacles that beset the pipeliners during the construction period. At the Mediterranean, the oil is loaded on tankers and transported to the world markets.
Though the trans-Arabian pipeline is 1068 miles long, only the 753 mile section from the Sidon Terminal to the Qaisumah pump station is rightly called the TRANS-ARABIAN PIPELINE or TAPLINE. The remaining 315 miles is part of the Arabian American Oil Company's gathering system in eastern Saudi Arabia. This part of the line gathers the oil before its long journey to the coast of Lebanon.
In 1947, the trans-Arabian pipeline was started. Thousands of tons of steel plate were fabricated into 31 foot lengths of pipe at factories in the United States.
Half the pipe was made 30 inches in diameter and the other half 31 inches. This made it possible to save shipping space by "nesting" or slipping the smaller pipe inside the larger...
Huge 300 horsepower trucks, equipped with special, low pressure sand tires, hauled the pipe across desert and plain. More than 1500 vehicles made up the desert fleet of cars and trucks that were used on the job...
Machines like the GiantRipper with its great steel tooth, were used to rip a trench along the ground in which the pipe was to be buried.
Final welding of the sections fashioned the 93-foot lengths of pipe into one great tube. All told, over 180,000 welds were made on the great line...
The trans-Arabian pipeline system transports over 300,000 barrels of crude oil a day from eastern Saudi Arabia to the terminal near the biblical town of Sidon, Lebanon. That's enough oil to produce gasoline to operate almost 3 million automobiles for an average day's driving; or an amount of fuel oil sufficient to heat almost 260,000 homes.

Largest ever turboprop airplane in the world! After a break of eight years, the world has one Antonov An-22A Antei back in commercial service again - and Air-Clips was on board for you!
Out of our series of four cockpit flights, the two shown in this ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE represent the heart of the mission! See the Antei "eating" a huge piece of outsize cargo and flying it from Zurich via Tbilisi to Abu Dhabi in September 2016, marking her first commercial mission in her new life.
The Antonov An-22 "Antei" is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first Soviet wide-body aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. The An-22 first appeared publicly outside the Soviet Union at the 1965Paris Air Show. Since then, the model has seen extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts for the Soviet Union.
In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union required a large military transport aircraft to supplement the Antonov An-8 and An-12s then entering service. Originally known as the An-20, the model is a conventional multi-engined high-wing design. In the early 1960s, the Antonov bureau produced a wooden mock up at its Kiev, Ukraine, workshops of what was designated the Model 100. The prototype, now designated the An-22, was rolled out on 18 August 1964 and first flew on 27 February 1965. The prototype was given the name Antheus and, after four-months of test flying, was displayed at the 1965 Paris Air Show. All aircraft were built at the TashkentState Aircraft Factory and the first military delivery was made to the Air TransportWing at IvanovoAirbase in 1969.
The aircraft was designed as a strategic airlifter, designed specifically to expand the Soviet Airborne Troops' capability to land with their then-new BMD-1 armoured vehicles. The An-22 cargo hold can accommodate four BMD-1 compared to only one in the An-12.
It also has the capability to takeoff from austere, unpaved, and short airstrips, allowing airborne troops to perform air-landing operations. This is achieved by four pairs of contra-rotating propellers, similar to those on the Tupolev Tu-114. The engines generate significant thrust, and produce a slipstream over the wings and large double-slotted flaps. The landing gear is ruggedized for rough airstrips, and, in early versions, tire pressures could be adjusted in flight for optimum landing performance, although that feature was removed in later models.
The An-22 follows traditional cargo transport design with a high-mounted wing allowing a large cargo space of 33m in length and a usable volume of 639m³. The forward fuselage is fully pressurized and provides space for 5 to 8 crew and up to 28 passengers, but the cargo space is pressurized to only 3.55 PSI / 0.245 bar allowing for a lighter airframe. A door equipped with pressure bulkhead is located at frame 14, separating the cargo attendant's compartment from the main cargo compartment. This allows the rear cargo doors to be opened during flight for paratroops and equipment drop. Like the An-12, the aircraft has a circular fuselage section. The An-22 has set a number of payload and payload-to-height world records.
The An-22 has the general appearance of an enlarged version of the earlier Antonov An-12 except that it is fitted with a twin tail. This gives the An-22 better engine-out performance, and reduces height restrictions for hangars. Also of note are large anti-flutter masses on the top of each tail.
Only one production variant was built, the standard An-22. Prototypes, such as the one first featured at the 1965 Paris Air Show had fully glazed noses that lacked the nose mounted radar of production models. Those aircraft had the radar mounted below the right wheel well fairing, forward of the wheels.
Antonov Airlines is a Ukrainian cargo airline, a division of the Antonov aviation company. It operates international charter services in the world of oversized cargo market. Its main base is Gostomel Airport near Kiev. The company owns the Antonov An-225, the world's largest operational cargo aircraft and the only one completed. The airline was established and started operations in 1989 through a marketing agent agreement with Air Foyle to market Antonov An-124 Ruslan cargo charters worldwide. This relationship ended in June 2006. The same month Antonov Airlines and another large player in the global specialty air cargo business, Volga-Dnepr Airlines (Russia), established a joint venture company — RuslanInternational — where each company has a 50% stake. The joint operation of the Ukrainian and Russian fleets allows them to share the combined An-124-100 commercial fleet of seventeen aircraft (seven of which belong to Antonov Airlines) and the only Antonov An-225 in service worldwide — the largest cargo aircraft in the world.

Largest ever turboprop airplane in the world! After a break of eight years, the world has one Antonov An-22A Antei back in commercial service again - and Air-Clips was on board for you!
Out of our series of four cockpit flights, the two shown in this ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE represent the heart of the mission! See the Antei "eating" a huge piece of outsize cargo and flying it from Zurich via Tbilisi to Abu Dhabi in September 2016, marking her first commercial mission in her new life.
The Antonov An-22 "Antei" is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first Soviet wide-body aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. The An-22 first appeared publicly outside the Soviet Union at the 1965Paris Air Show. Since then, the model has seen extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts for the Soviet Union.
In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union required a large military transport aircraft to supplement the Antonov An-8 and An-12s then entering service. Originally known as the An-20, the model is a conventional multi-engined high-wing design. In the early 1960s, the Antonov bureau produced a wooden mock up at its Kiev, Ukraine, workshops of what was designated the Model 100.

AntonovAN-225 flies 154 metric tonne waste heat boiler from Leipzig, Germany to Edmonton, Alberta. (Edmonton, Canada) DB Schenker today announced the successful move of a 154-metric tonne waste heat boiler to Edmonton International Airport (EIA) for its customer, Agrium Inc. The waste heat boiler is a vital component used in the production of nitrogen fertilizer destined for Agrium’s Fertilizer Operations in Redwater, Alberta, approximately 52 km north of Edmonton. Schenker of CanadaLimited’s ProjectsDivision arranged for all segments of the delivery originating from Berlin, Germany including barge, truck, and final arrival at Edmonton International Airport via the Antonov AN-225. From there, the cargo will be carried by over-sized trailer to the Agrium Redwater plant. According to EricDewey, President and CEO, Schenker of Canada Limited, “This is a massive undertaking that required months of extensive planning, right down to the final details. Agrium’s timeline negated the option of ocean transport and we were very fortunate the Antonov AN-225 was available to transport the waste heat boiler from Berlin to Edmonton.” “We are undergoing a significant site construction and replacement project at our Redwater site,” explains Kevin Melnyk, Plant Manager Nitrogen Operations, Agrium Redwater. “DB Schenker knows we have a critical implementation timeline and they are working to specific deadlines to transport this waste heat boiler. At Agrium safety and reliability are the way we operate. The installation of this new boiler will significantly improve the production reliability at our site.” “A critical role of EIA is efficiently supporting this type of heavy-lift cargo operation”, says Alex Lowe, Manager CargoBusiness Development at EIA. “This operation is a prime example of the growth in cargo at EIA. Recent and continued investments in the airport’s cargo infrastructure will continue to enable this region’s economic growth.”

The Antonov An-225 Mriya (Ukrainian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрія, Russian: Антонов Ан-225 Мрия, Dream, NATO reporting name: "Cossack") is a strategic airlift cargo aircraft that was designed by the Soviet Union's Antonov Design Bureau in the 1980s. The An-225's name, Mriya (Мрiя) means "Dream" (Inspiration) in Ukrainian. It is powered by six turbofan engines and is the longest and heaviest airplane ever built with a maximum takeoff weight of 640 tonnes. It also has the largest wingspan of any aircraft in operational service. The single example built has the Ukrainian civil registration UR-82060. A second airframe was partially built; its completion was halted.
The Antonov An-225, initially developed for the task of transporting the Buran spaceplane, was an enlargement of the successful Antonov An-124. The first and only An-225 was completed in 1988. After successfully fulfilling its Soviet military missions, it was mothballed for eight years. It was then refurbished and re-introduced, and is in commercial operation with Antonov Airlines carrying oversized payloads. The airlifter holds the absolute world records for an airlifted single item payload of 189,980 kilograms (418,834 pounds), and an airlifted total payload of 253,820 kilograms (559,577 pounds). It has also transported a payload of 247,000 kilograms (545,000 pounds) on a commercial flight.

"The aircraft is equipped with thirteen of these similar bottles, one of which remains unaccounted for."
4. Reporters at table
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Neville Blyth, Senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau:
(Q: Information being found out about missing cylinder number four, is it still believed that it has probably been blown out through the fuselage?)
"That is the most likely explanation for the absence of the cylinder. There has been a thorough search, as you can appreciate, of all areas of the aircraft now, including trim panels and other aspects of the aircraft structure have been examined. No trace of the cylinder has been recovered other the components that I discussed yesterday -- the valve, the valve handle and the like. So, the explanation regarding the loss of the cylinder is the most probable, given the rupture is immediately adjacent to the area where that cylinder is normally."
6. Wide of news conference
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Neville Blyth, Senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau:
"Obviously the maintenance area is an important aspect of maintaining the airworthiness and the safety of the cylinder, given that we have likely had a cylinder event. Obviously the maintenance is going to be a sharp focus, as is the manufacture of the cylinders, the condition of the cylinder and any other aspect of the installation and the cylinder. There is a lot of different things that obviously are subject to further investigation. This is not a simple matter, as you can possibly appreciate. There is a large amount of information that needs to be gathered before any conclusions can be drawn in respect to the failure."

STORYLINE:
The focus of an investigation into what caused a hole in the side of a Qantas jet as it was flying over the South China Sea last Friday, continues to narrow on a missing oxygen tank.
Neville Blyth, a senior investigator from the Australian Transport and Safety Bureau, told a news conference on Tuesday, that a missing oxygen tank appears to have burst while the plane was flying at 29,000 feet (8,800 metres), forcing it to make an emergency landing.
"The explanation regarding the loss of the cylinder is the most probable," Blyth said, adding that the 44-pound (20-kilogramme) green tank was stored adjacent to the car-sized hole in the plane's metal skin and close to where a valve was found in the passenger cabin, likely blown through a hole in the floor.
However, investigators won't be able to review the cockpit voice recording of a Qantas jet's mid-air crisis because it was overwritten as the crew made a harrowing emergency landing, Blyth said.
With air rushing out of the hole, the pilots made a rapid descent, then an emergency landing in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Flight QF 30, with 345 passengers and a crew of 19, had been en route from London to Melbourne and had just made a stopover in Hong Kong.
The cockpit voice recorder and flight data recorder arrived on Monday in Canberra, where officials discovered that the period when the crew was dealing with massive depressurisation had been recorded over, Blyth said.
The device operates on a two-hour loop.
The oldest recording on the cockpit voice recorder commenced after the descent and diversion to Manila, Blyth said, adding it was still valuable in assessing the crew's handling of the situation.

Downtown Train Ride - Hong Kong

Riding the Hong Kong Tramway - Location: https://goo.gl/maps/5RREJ - 16W ShipyardLaneWestboundStop to WMTWestern MarketTerminus (End of Line). Cost: $0.30USD.
Hong Kong Tramways (Chinese: 香港電車) is a tram system in Hong Kong, being one of the earliest forms of public transport in the metropolis. Owned and operated by Veolia Transport, the tramway runs on Hong Kong Island between Shau Kei Wan and Kennedy Town, with a branch circulating Happy Valley.
Trams in Hong Kong have not only been a form of commuter transport for over 100 years, but also a major tourist attraction and one of the most environmentally friendly ways of travelling in Hong Kong.[2] It is the only tram system in the world operated exclusively with double-decker trams, and is one of only three non-heritage tram systems in the world that use double-deck cars.
Tram routes
The trams run on a double track tramline built parallel to the northern coastline of Hong Kong Island from Kennedy Town to Shau Kei Wan, with a single clockwise-running track of about 3 km (1.9 mi) around the Happy Valley Racecourse.
There are 7 tram termini located along the tram line, namely, from west to east, Kennedy Town, Shek Tong Tsui (a.k.a. Whitty Street), Sheung Wan (Western Market), Happy Valley, Causeway Bay, North Point and Shau Kei Wan; some intermediate stops such as Sai Ying Pun, Admiralty MTR Station, Wan Chai, and Victoria Park are also equipped with turnaround facilities so that they can be used as makeshift termini in emergency situations, such as en-route traffic accidents.
Public reception and cultural significance
The trams have not only been a form of transportation for over a century, but also a major tourist attraction. The well-preserved tram lines still serve as a crucial means of transport in Hong Kong. Travelling in the lower deck of the tram allows travellers to have a close up view of the local street life, while occupying the front seats of the upper deck gives good views of the town as the tram rattles by.
Hong Kong's tram system is an icon of the city, like other Asian trams in Kolkata, Dalian and Sapporo.
As they run through the urban area of Hong Kong Island, the tram tracks have become an important icon of urban Hong Kong. Since the tracks were originally built along the waterfront before further land reclamation pushed the coastline northwards, the tracks can be used to identify directions and locations throughout urban Hong Kong Island.
Red light meals
In the old days, the duration of meal breaks allocated to tram drivers were far from adequate. Most drivers would therefore take advantage of the time their trams are waiting at a red light to gulp down a portion of their meal before the signal turns to green, continuing this practice whenever the tram comes to a red light until the meal is finished. This kind of hurried, impromptu meal is commonly referred as "red light meals" (Chinese: 紅燈飯).
ProjectsModern Tramway at Kai Tak Development[edit]
Hong Kong Tramways Limited announced its interest in constructing a 12-km modern tramway system in the Kai Tak Development, built on the vacated site of the former Kai Tak Airport, in place of the "Environmentally Friendly Linkage System" (monorail system) proposed by the Hong Kong Government. Possible extensions to neighbouring places such as To Kwa Wan, Kowloon City and Kwun Tong were suggested. The company appointed a consultancy firm to investigate on the feasibility of building such a modern tram system in 2010, and submitted a proposal to the Development Bureau on April 29, 2013.[9]
The company pointed out that the cost of constructing the proposed tram system is HK$2.8 billion. which is comparatively low as compared to the cost of $12 billion needed for a monorail system. Bruno Charrade, Managing Director of HKT, said the design of tramcars can be in connection with their Hong Kong Island counterparts or in a totally new shape, depending on the Government's discretion.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Arabian_Pipeline
The Trans-Arabian Pipeline (Tapline), was an oil pipeline from Qaisumah in Saudi Arabia to Sidon in Lebanon. In its heyday, it was an important factor in the global trade of petroleum—helping with the economic development of Lebanon—as well as American and Middle Eastern political relations...History
Construction of the Trans-Arabian Pipeline began in 1947 and was mainly managed by the American company Bechtel. Originally the Tapline was intended to terminate in Haifa which was then in the British Mandate of Palestine, but due to the establishment of the state of Israel, an alternative route through Syria (Golan Heights) and Lebanon was selected with an export terminal in Sidon. The Syrian government initially opposed the plan, but ratified Tapline construction in 1949 following the U.S.-backed military coup overthrowing democratic rule there. Oil transport through the pipeline started in 1950.
Since the 1967 Six-Day War, the section of the pipeline which runs through the Golan Heights came under Israeli occupation, though the Israelis permitted the pipeline's operation to continue. After years of constant bickering between Saudi Arabia and Syria and Lebanon over transit fees, the emergence of oil supertankers, and pipeline breakdowns, the section of the line beyond Jordan ceased operation in 1976. The remainder of the line between Saudi Arabia and Jordan continued to transport modest amounts of petroleum until 1990 when the Saudis cut off the pipeline in response to Jordan's support of Iraq during the first Gulf War. Today, the entire line is unfit for oil transport...
From "The Building of Tapline"
http://almashriq.hiof.no/lebanon/300/380/388/tapline/building-tapline/building-tapline.pdf
In 1950, the world's largest oil pipeline system was completed. Oil fields in Saudi Arabia were linked with the Mediterranean Sea at Sidon, Lebanon, over a thousand miles away. The pipeline greatly reduced the number of tankers required to transport oil around the Arabian Peninsula through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean, a 20-day, 7,000 mile trip. The building of the great pipeline is a story of accomplishment by Americans and Middle Easterners working together towards a common goal. It took the courage, perseverence and skills of 16,000 men, most of them nationals of the lands through which the line was passing, to overcome the heat, desert, sand storms, loneliness and other obstacles that beset the pipeliners during the construction period. At the Mediterranean, the oil is loaded on tankers and transported to the world markets.
Though the trans-Arabian pipeline is 1068 miles long, only the 753 mile section from the Sidon Terminal to the Qaisumah pump station is rightly called the TRANS-ARABIAN PIPELINE or TAPLINE. The remaining 315 miles is part of the Arabian American Oil Company's gathering system in eastern Saudi Arabia. This part of the line gathers the oil before its long journey to the coast of Lebanon.
In 1947, the trans-Arabian pipeline was started. Thousands of tons of steel plate were fabricated into 31 foot lengths of pipe at factories in the United States.
Half the pipe was made 30 inches in diameter and the other half 31 inches. This made it possible to save shipping space by "nesting" or slipping the smaller pipe inside the larger...
Huge 300 horsepower trucks, equipped with special, low pressure sand tires, hauled the pipe across desert and plain. More than 1500 vehicles made up the desert fleet of cars and trucks that were used on the job...
Machines like the GiantRipper with its great steel tooth, were used to rip a trench along the ground in which the pipe was to be buried.
Final welding of the sections fashioned the 93-foot lengths of pipe into one great tube. All told, over 180,000 welds were made on the great line...
The trans-Arabian pipeline system transports over 300,000 barrels of crude oil a day from eastern Saudi Arabia to the terminal near the biblical town of Sidon, Lebanon. That's enough oil to produce gasoline to operate almost 3 million automobiles for an average day's driving; or an amount of fuel oil sufficient to heat almost 260,000 homes.

Out of our series of four cockpit flights, the two shown in this ULTIMATE COCKPIT MOVIE represent the heart of the mission! See the Antei "eating" a huge piece of outsize cargo and flying it from Zurich via Tbilisi to Abu Dhabi in September 2016, marking her first commercial mission in her new life.
The Antonov An-22 "Antei" is a heavy military transport aircraft designed by the Antonov Design Bureau in the Soviet Union. Powered by four turboprop engines each driving a pair of contra-rotating propellers, the design was the first Soviet wide-body aircraft and remains the world's largest turboprop-powered aircraft to date. The An-22 first appeared publicly outside the Soviet Union at the 1965Paris Air Show. Since then, the model has seen extensive use in major military and humanitarian airlifts for the Soviet Union.
In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union required a large military transport aircraft to supplement the Antonov An-8 and An-12s then entering service. Originally known as the An-20, the model is a conventional multi-engined high-wing design. In the early 1960s, the Antonov bureau produced a wooden mock up at its Kiev, Ukraine, workshops of what was designated the Model 100. The prototype, now designated the An-22, was rolled out on 18 August 1964 and first flew on 27 February 1965. The prototype was given the name Antheus and, after four-months of test flying, was displayed at the 1965 Paris Air Show. All aircraft were built at the TashkentState Aircraft Factory and the first military delivery was made to the Air TransportWing at IvanovoAirbase in 1969.
The aircraft was designed as a strategic airlifter, designed specifically to expand the Soviet Airborne Troops' capability to land with their then-new BMD-1 armoured vehicles. The An-22 cargo hold can accommodate four BMD-1 compared to only one in the An-12.
It also has the capability to takeoff from austere, unpaved, and short airstrips, allowing airborne troops to perform air-landing operations. This is achieved by four pairs of contra-rotating propellers, similar to those on the Tupolev Tu-114. The engines generate significant thrust, and produce a slipstream over the wings and large double-slotted flaps. The landing gear is ruggedized for rough airstrips, and, in early versions, tire pressures could be adjusted in flight for optimum landing performance, although that feature was removed in later models.
The An-22 follows traditional cargo transport design with a high-mounted wing allowing a large cargo space of 33m in length and a usable volume of 639m³. The forward fuselage is fully pressurized and provides space for 5 to 8 crew and up to 28 passengers, but the cargo space is pressurized to only 3.55 PSI / 0.245 bar allowing for a lighter airframe. A door equipped with pressure bulkhead is located at frame 14, separating the cargo attendant's compartment from the main cargo compartment. This allows the rear cargo doors to be opened during flight for paratroops and equipment drop. Like the An-12, the aircraft has a circular fuselage section. The An-22 has set a number of payload and payload-to-height world records.
The An-22 has the general appearance of an enlarged version of the earlier Antonov An-12 except that it is fitted with a twin tail. This gives the An-22 better engine-out performance, and reduces height restrictions for hangars. Also of note are large anti-flutter masses on the top of each tail.
Only one production variant was built, the standard An-22. Prototypes, such as the one first featured at the 1965 Paris Air Show had fully glazed noses that lacked the nose mounted radar of production models. Those aircraft had the radar mounted below the right wheel well fairing, forward of the wheels.
Antonov Airlines is a Ukrainian cargo airline, a division of the Antonov aviation company. It operates international charter services in the world of oversized cargo market. Its main base is Gostomel Airport near Kiev. The company owns the Antonov An-225, the world's largest operational cargo aircraft and the only one completed. The airline was established and started operations in 1989 through a marketing agent agreement with Air Foyle to market Antonov An-124 Ruslan cargo charters worldwide. This relationship ended in June 2006. The same month Antonov Airlines and another large player in the global specialty air cargo business, Volga-Dnepr Airlines (Russia), established a joint venture company — RuslanInternational — where each company has a 50% stake. The joint operation of the Ukrainian and Russian fleets allows them to share the combined An-124-100 commercial fleet of seventeen aircraft (seven of which belong to Antonov Airlines) and the only Antonov An-225 in service worldwide — the largest cargo aircraft in the world.
